Rannestad ... I've been experimenting with pushing Tri-X400 while still controlling the grain by increasing the temperature thereby reducing the development time. This was the first time I pushed to ISO6400 (4 stops!) and was surprised at the smoothness ... I think the grain here is similar to the noise level of my Canon 20D at ISO1600.

Paulo ... well, yes I know Velco and consider him a friend. When you say Nick H, do you mean Nick Hinch? His photos rock.

I fondly remember both of these guys asking for my advice on things like film photography and grain and processing and blah blah blah ... and then a year later totally eclipsing any image i have taken ...
